Reprobate

“In whose eyes a reprobate is despised, but who honors those who fear the LORD…” (Psalm 15:4)

         Reprobate isn’t a word you often hear, but it is something you see everyday.  A reprobate is an unprincipled person – someone who has no regard for ethical or moral character.  A reprobate is someone of dubious character.  They flatter the boss while stealing company supplies.  They gossip about others with you, and then move on to gossip about you with others.

         Psalm 15 says that part of fearing the Lord is despising the reprobate.  Far too often we accept behavior from others that we know Jesus would (and did!) call out.  We must love like Jesus, but we must also learn to despise what He despises, too.

         Honor ethics and reject the worldly, unprincipled behavior of the world.
